We hear Powerline's John Hinderaker complaining about the nomination and saying that Bush was "teed up to hit a grand slam home run." Hmmm. The Prez plays tee ball? You guys, with your sports metaphors. Are you even getting them straight?

And NPR, why only male bloggers? I'm going to assume it was because they were going for the image of bloggers as a bunch of blunt-talking tough guys.

They didn't interview any female bloggers because the cognitive dissonance of hearing conservative or libertarian-sounding views from a female voice would have caused the average NPR listener to lean over and puke into their canvas fundrasing tote.

Everybody's a critic! OK, I did mix a metaphor: "teed up" is golf, and "grand slam" and "bunt" are baseball. I should have said he had the bases loaded, and instead of hitting the ball out of the park for a grand slam, he bunted. So sue me!
